Background and Development
In March 1995 the Bloodhound Gang signed a record deal with Columbia Records and released their first full-length album, titled Use Your Fingers (1995), but were subsequently dropped by the label. After adjusting its lineup, the group began working on their newest album, One Fierce Beer Coaster.
Released on December 3, 1996, it eventually sold over 500,000 copies in the US. The album's first single, "Fire Water Burn," played a major role in the slow build of interest that ultimately led to the band's mainstream breakthrough. Geffen Records signed the band within two months as word-of-mouth praise for the album spread. After the success of One Fierce Beer Coaster, the band entered the studio in 1998 to record their newest album.

“On fields all drenched with blood he made his record in war, abstained from lawless violence when left on the plantation, and received his freedom in peace with moderation. But he holds in this Republic the position of an alien race among a people impatient of a rival. And in the eyes of some it seems that no valor redeems him, no social advancement nor individual development wipes off the ban which clings to him.”
—Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911)
